Chapter323
Jennifer didn’t have a chance to hand the gift box to the queen when Janet clacked over in her high heels.
“Your Majesty, you gotta be careful, this Jennifer has a criminal record, don’t let her deceive you.”
“Oh?”
Queen Penelope raised an eyebrow and asked, “What’s Jennifer’s criminal record?”
“She once gave me a set of wedding jewelry made with lab–grown diamonds instead of natural ones…”
Janet hadn’t finished speaking when Jennifer saw Catalina walking
over.
Catalina didn’t come alone, of course.
Or you could say, Catalina wasn’t really qualified to attend this event.
She was clearly dressed up tonight, in a carefully chosen light pink bodycon dress, with no extra decorations, just relying on the high- quality fabric and smooth tailoring.
Seem simple, but actually eye–catching.
Janet, wearing a golden satin dress next to her, was instantly outshone.
Next to Catalina, there was Brayan.
She held hands with Brayan, inseparable and intimate, always
together.

Brayan was still the same, dressed in all black with a black satin shirt underneath, elegant and noble, yet imposing, like a king ruling over a business empire.
Noticing Jennifer’s gaze on him, Brayan’s cold face suddenly lit up with a smile.
Jennifer was taken aback by this smile.
Jennifer smiled too.
Jennifer’s smile made Brayan’s upturned lips turn downwards instead.

He always felt like this smile was a silent challenge to him.

In the end, nothing was said to Jennifer.
“Artificially cultivated gems are considered fake in the high–end jewelry world, Ms. Obrien kindly reminded Her Majesty.”
Catalina pretended to be a good person.
“Why don’t Your Majesty open the box, I’ll help to see if the crown made by Jennifer is authentic.”
Queen Penelope heard this, looked at Jennifer, and saw Jennifer nodding at her.

“This is not a moss agate!”
Catalina pretended to be surprised, covering her mouth and sneering.
“Jennifer, you’re being so stingy! You won’t even use the lab–grown diamond, you’re using a Mozambique stone instead?”
“You see, Your Majesty, I told you that Jennifer is not trustworthy. She always uses her silver tongue to gain your trust first, and then delivers subpar products, trying to pass them off as top–notch. If it weren’t for Ms. Colbert, a professional jewelry designer, you might have mistaken her for using top–quality diamonds!”
Janet naturally spoke up for Catalina.
They both agreed to make sure Jennifer lost face in front of Queen Penelope tonight, no matter what.
Brayan was standing next to me, silently listening, with his eyebrows furrowed sharply like two swords.
